Together with the Megalomaria Valiant.

This kit is the Vanguard Leader released as part of Kotobukiya's Megalomaria series. It's a color variant of the previously released Valiant, this time featuring a white uniform. Only the head and accessories have some new sculpting applied.

The incoms and hair direction are mirrored left-to-right, so new parts have been applied to the head as well — but the design is identical, just flipped. And instead of the large handcuff-style blade that came with the Valiant, you get a long whip, a short whip, and a display stand. The long whip has a lead wire inside so it can be bent freely, and you can coil it up and mount it on the back using the stand.

Everything else is identical to the Valiant. It's still a top-tier action figure model kit with incredible articulation. It's essentially a color variant in terms of content, but if you like the style, it's a high-quality kit that's well worth enjoying. :-)
